How to Create an AI-Generated Assessment
Step 1: Navigate to the AI Assessment Builder
- Log into your Vervoe account.
- Click on My Assessments in the navigation menu.
- Select New Assessment and choose Generate Assessment from the available options.
Step 2: Upload or Enter a Job Description
- You will be prompted to upload or paste a job description. You can do this by uploading a PDF file or wiring in the "Paste text" section.
- The AI will scan the JD for key skills, competencies, and role-specific responsibilities. Please ensure your JD is comprehensive. If you are typing the JD, please ensure to be specific and provide as much information as you can including the job title, key tasks and responsibilities for the role, skills needed to perform the tasks and anything else important.
- Click Next to begin the process.
💡 Tip: The more detailed the JD, the better the AI can tailor the assessment. Ensure your JD includes key responsibilities, required skills, and preferred qualifications.
Step 3: Review and Customize the Generated Assessment
The AI builder will create an assessment for you and show you the preview. If you are happy with the content of the assessment or would like to use the questions as a base, choose review and invite.
The assessment will include:
✔ Three skill groups tailored to the role.
✔ Three validated questions per skill group to comprehensively test the candidate’s abilities.
✔ A mix of question formats, including multiple-choice, video, file upload, coding tasks, and open-ended responses.
If you would like to start over with a new JD or additional information, click "start over" at the bottom of the screen.
Once you click review and invite, you’ll be presented with an overview of the assessment including:
✔ An overview of the three skill groups tailored to the role.
✔ A overview of the mix of question formats, including multiple-choice, video, file upload, coding tasks, and open-ended responses.
- Click Invite Candidates to invite candidates to the assessment or make changes.
- Check if the questions are clear, engaging, and aligned with the job requirements.
Step 4: Save and Invite Candidates to your Assessment
Once satisfied with the assessment:

- You will receive a shareable link that you can:
- Embed on your careers page or job posting.

💡 Tip: Posting the assessment directly on your careers page allows candidates to self-screen immediately—saving you time in the hiring process.
